These web education products are designed to provide an introduction to some of the exhibitions on display at the Auckland War Memorial Museum.

They can be used independently or as part of a visit.

Educators and individuals are encouraged to use the power of the internet together with other resources to explore what is available. Educators are encouraged to use the objects and their associated questions as stimulus material when preparing classes for visits to the Museum.

Over time many other exhibitions will be added to this series and the effectiveness of the questions will be monitored by the museum's education staff.
